Applications and Theories of FTIR and UV-Vis Spectroscopy

Light is utilized in a wide range of spectroscopic techniques and practices to gain a variety of information about materials and chemicals. These analyses can include material/chemical identification, quantitative analysis, quality control/quality assurance testing, and biological studies, among other applications. Applications, along with sample handling for both FTIR and UV-Vis spectroscopy, will be outlined in this paper.
